SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 452,413, dated May 19,1891.

Application filed January 13, 1891- Serial No. 377,659. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. MOORE, a citizen of the United States,residing at West ford, in the county of Middlesex and State ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTellurians; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, refer-- encebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a plan view, and Fig. 2 a vertical and longitudinal section,of an apparatus embodying my invention, the nature of which is definedin the claims hereinafter presented.

Similar letters refer to si milar parts throughout both Views.

In the drawings, A denotes a chambered base or case supplied with abearing a, in which is supported an upright stationary shaft B, fixed inposition in said hearing by a setscrew Z).

O is a frame applied to the shaft B and adapted to swing horizontallythereon, and having a sleeve 0 projecting below said frame and hearingat its lower end on the top of the bearing a.

D is a gear fixed to, said sleeve, and E is a disk closing the top ofthe chambered base.

F is a pulley secured to the shaft B.

E represents an adjustable weight applied to the shorter arm of theframe O to counterbalance the longer arm of said frame and also theappliances supported thereby.

Supported in bearings cl and 6 near the outer end of the longer arm ofthe frame is a tubular shaft G, having a pulleyll secured thereto,around which and the pulley F a band I runs. Near to the top of theshaft G a curved arm K is secured, said arm provided with bearings f andg for an inclined shaft L, towhich is applied a globe M, representingthe earth. Within the tubular shaft G is a shaft N, provided at itslower end with a pulley O, about which and the circular top 7% of thecase A a band P passes. To the upper end of said shaft N a bevel-gear Qis fixed, said gear engaging a bevel-pinion R, secured to the inclinedshaft L. \Vithin the globe is a frame S, suspended from the said shaftL, said frame provided with a weight T. Apinion 2', fixed to the shaftL, engages a gear j, fixed to a shaft 7t, supported in the frame Sparallel to the shaft L and provided on its upper end with a gear Z,which engages a sleeve-pinion m, adapted to turn on the shaft L, saidpinion m being fixed to an arm U, having a weight n at one end and a rod0 at the other end, which supports a sphere V, representing the moon.The globe M is divided into two hollow semi-spheres, which are appliedto the shaft L, so that there shall be a space 19 between them for therod 0 to travel in when illustrating the motion of the moon V around theearth. A rod q, extending upward from the shaft B, supports at its top asphere W, representing the sun.

X and Y are balls supported by wires 1' .5, secured to the machine,planets.

lVithin the chambered base is arranged an electric motor Z, by whichpower is transmitted to the gear D, whereby the frame O is caused toturn in a horizontal plane, giving to the globe M a movementrepresenting the motion of our earth around the sun. The axis of theearth-globe M is kept parallel to its former position in its rotationaround the sunglobe V by the pulleys F and H, band I, tubular shaft G,and curved arm K, fixed to the said shaft G, said arm K sustaining theinclined shaft L, the axis of which represents the axis of the earth.The motion of the moon-globeV around the earth-globe M is produced bythe circular top h of the case A, the band P, pulley 0, vertical shaftN, gear Q, and pinions R and 1', inclined shaft L, gears j and Z, shaft[6, and pinion m, the latter fixed to the arm U, supporting the rod 0,to which the moon-globe V is fixed. The motion of the globe M about itsown axis is produced by the part h of the case A, the band P, pulley O,vertical shaft- N, gear Q, pinion R, and inclined shaft L.

hat I claim is- 1. Atellurian co'nsistingof a chamberedbase providedwith a circular band-bearing h and a shaft-bearing a, an uprightstationary shaft fixed to said base, said shaftprovided with a andrepresent .fixed' pulley F, a frame G, supported by said shaft and thechambered base, said frame having a sleeve 0 extending within the base,a gear I), fixed to said sleeve, a sun-globe XV, supported from theshaft 13, a tubular shaft G, provided with pulley H, a shaft N, having apulley 0, bands I and P, an arm K, provided with bearings, an inclinedshaft L, supported in said bearings, a globe M, representing the earth,made in halves, supported 011 shaft L and arranged with a space betweenthem, pinions R and 'i, fixed to shaft L, weighted frame S, gears j andZ, shaft 7;, pinion m, fixed to weighted arm U, turning loosely on shaftL, said army-supporting-rod provided with moonglobe V, combined withmotor Z, as and for the purpose explained.

2. The combination for prodncingthe rotation of the 1noo1i-g1ol )e'\"'around the earthglobe M, consisting of the circular part h of the baseA, the band P, pulley 0, vertical shaft N, gear Q, inclined shaft L,pinions R and 2', fixed to said shaft, gears j and Z, shaft 70,supporting said gears, weighted frame S, pinion m turning loosely onshaft L, the arm L, to which said pinion m is fixed, the frame 0, thegear D, fixed thereto, and the motor Z, all arranged,supported,and tooperate essentially as described and represented.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE R. MOORE. Witnesses:
